Law of Attraction: 4 Things Screwing Up Your Manifesting Mojo

On one hand this law of attraction stuff seems easy peasy. On the other, it can feel really freaking hard. We know it isn’t supposed to be, so that adds to our frustration. It is hard because we make it hard, not because the Universe thinks we have to ‘earn’ our stuff through lots of suffering and frustration.

Having become aware of this amazing force, we often work harder than we need to get what we want. We can easily become obsessed with concepts like ‘vibration’ and ‘limiting beliefs.’ We freak out about every negative thought and unwanted situation we encounter. We panic what we want will forever elude us.

When we are feeling particularly frustrated, we can get a bit nasty, and maybe even think this is all a load of BS. We are sick of trying to get what we want, and are tempted to just settle for what we have now.

Our minds just can’t readily accept the concept. It just seems ‘too easy’ and our jerky brain will fight to the death to convince us this is just not how things work.

But, I imagine anyone reading this has experienced enough to know there is something to it, and you are just having trouble taking things to the next level. Reaching for the bigger and bolder things can be a challenge, because there is more resistance around them.

I know this can be a hard thing to accept, but the only thing keeping us away from our ‘stuff’ is us, and what is going on inside. Knowing we are the problem is not something about which to feel discouraged and all pissed about. It is a great thing because it means we are in total control, we just have to tweak things a bit.

Here are four common issues screwing with your manifesting mojo, and how to turn things around.

But first, check out this quick video with some additional thoughts on LOA.

Too Much Focus on Thinking and Not Enough on Feeling

When you read about law of attraction, you come across a lot about thoughts creating reality, thinking positive thoughts, thinking about what you want,etc… Considering the amount of thoughts we have during our waking hours, we may feel a lot of pressure to monitor them. Becoming aware of this force can be a bit anxiety-inducing. We realize how much the ball is in our court when it comes to our life experience, and we worry we will continue to just screw it up.

But, the reason thoughts are so important is because they influence how we feel, and attraction is based on what we are predominantly feeling, not thinking.

So, naturally our thoughts are important. But, when we focus too much on what we are thinking, we can start feeling badly, and that will just move us further away. Forcing ourselves to think ‘happy thoughts’ when we feel like crap will do nothing for us. That is why affirmations don’t work for many people—there is a total disconnect between what you saying and feeling.

Because of this focus that has been put on the ‘thinking’ aspect, you hear a lot about having to constantly be visualizing your desires, and having them at the forefront of your mind. But, if you have a lot of blocks around your desire that you need to work through, or your desire is of the ilk where the details haven’t quite been hammered out yet, and it is more general, visualizing may make you feel badly.

It is crucial to know thinking about what you want frequently is not necessary—visualizing is not manifesting. Now, don’t get me wrong—when it feels good, it is one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal because it gets you in a good feeling space. It is great for helping us uncover blocks, and fine- tuning our manifestations. So, pay attention to what happens when you think about what you want, and you feel kind of yucky.

The most important thing in manifesting is how you feel. Do whatever makes you feel good. When your thoughts are in the toilet, don’t will yourself to change them. Just do something that makes you feel good.

Thoughts are manifestations like anything else, and the better you feel, the higher your vibration. The higher your vibration, the better thoughts you will attract. The suckier ones won’t be able to make their way in, and if they do, they’ll be more like whispers than screaming banshees.

With the amount of thoughts we think, some ‘bad’ ones may pop in. You are only human. Don’t panic.If you have been doing your ‘work’ and have gained some good momentum towards what you want, some worrisome thoughts here and there are not powerful enough to derail that.

Also, you might want to know that you can not think about what you want ever again besides that first time, and you would still get it. Crazy, but true.

Riding the High of ‘Proof’ and Crashing When ‘Nothing’ Is Happening

We all know the importance of feeling good, thinking our happy thoughts and not paying any attention to our current experience. What we want is coming, and it doesn’t matter what things seem like now. Everything is coming together in the ‘invisible’ and will reach us in due time.

But, since we are obviously working to create a different experience, when things happen that show us we are lining up with this more desired reality, it feels really freaking awesome. There is this lightness in our being, the worries completely vanish for a time, and the LOA angels start singing.

We are totally aligned with our awesome higher selves who are in touch with ‘all that is,’ and we know LOA is real. But, eventually that buzz wears off—maybe in a few hours, the next day or a few days from now. It really depends on the nature of the ‘event’ and your overall energy. Then, we can feel kind of ‘eh.’ Not necessarily bad, but not exactly infused with energy and shininess.

It is almost like that ‘awesomeness’ never happened. Our brains are really good at allowing us to forget the ‘good’ stuff and just focus on the ‘bad.’

When we fall into this cycle, we can slow down our manifestations. We won’t feel as good. We may feel tempted to control and manipulate, which leads to lots of forced action that makes us feel all stressed and crappy.

One of the best ways to counteract this common problem is working on feeling good just for the sake of it. Don’t always tie it to getting something or in the context of your particular ‘wants’. It makes it a lot easier to consistently keep a higher vibe, regardless of what is going on.

Not Believing Feeling Good is ‘Enough’ and Forcing Actions that Make You Feel Like Crap

This is one area where there can be some confusion, and it is a topic I have discussed before in various contexts. Since attraction is all based on how we feel, taking action carries less importance. But, naturally we are going to be taking some sort of action. If you are building a business, there is stuff you are going to be doing. If you have a specific goal in mind, you will be taking certain steps to achieve it. You are likely not spending your days staring out the window, and nothing more.

Because most of us don’t have such a squeaky clean belief system that allows us to manifest at our maximum potential, tacking action can be great energy work because it helps create an expectation we will get what we want, and anything that feeds that belief is a good thing . But, it is all about how said actions make us feel; it is about the emotions and beliefs driving those actions.

For example, if you are hoping to meet someone, and that belief is strong enough, it will happen in some way. It might be through very conventional means, like at a bar, or in some crazy way that will make for a great ‘how we met ‘story.

Now, while you don’t want to get attached to any one way, if it makes you feel good to pursue certain channels because it gives you a sense you are helping to align yourself, then by all means, let your friends set you up on blind dates, go to a singles event, try speed dating, gather at places where you will meet like-minded people, or throw up a profile on a dating site. So long as you are not doing these things with a sense of trying to control outcomes, and decide on the ‘how.’

Essentially, when it comes to action, it is all about doing things that make you feel good, and not things that make you feel badly. We often act from a space of feeling badly because we are led to believe that we can only achieve success after failing a buttload of times, struggling and going through hell. Yeah, there may be some setbacks; we may stumble a bit, but it doesn’t have to be this hard. There can be ‘gain’ without ‘pain.’

The idea of feeling good, and only doing things that make us feel good, can be a tough thing for our logical minds to accept. It just goes against everything we have been taught about what is necessary for success and getting what we want. We associate success with difficult, unpleasant actions. Light-hearted fun stuff is for after the drudgery is done.

We feel things aren’t happening fast enough; the old way of thinking surfaces, and we get the idea we ‘should’ be doing particular things to achieve our desired result. Just doing things that feel good doesn’t sit well with us…we conclude we must do more.

So, from a place of fear, we dive into all these activities that make us feel like crap. We decide we will force our result through specific channels, therefore creating an energy that blocks the gazillion others of which we cannot possibly conceive. We move away from doing what feels good and towards things that lower our energy considerably.

I can’t tell you how much things changed for me when I took this idea of ‘feeling good’ to heart, and believed it on deeper levels. It was uncomfortable at first to not make myself do things I thought I ‘should’ be doing, but I resisted the urge. I just focused on doing things that felt good, that felt inspired.

When I felt badly, I stepped away, and did something else that made me feel better. I realized that these activities were not a ‘waste of time.’ From an LOA perspective, nothing we do that makes us feel good can possibly be a waste of time, even things like long mid-day naps and watching a funny TV show.

I started getting better results faster, and I was doing a hell of a lot less. It was amazing.

Screwing Up Your Energy by Discussing the Process with ‘Doubters’

When we work on changing our mindset, and developing more empowering beliefs, it is crucial to protect this fledgling version of ourselves. The old stuff is still hanging on pretty strongly, and completely backsliding into that way of thinking and being, is all too easy. Your current space is one where the ‘old’ you and ‘new’ you are co-existing, and it can be very uncomfortable.

You have enough to contend with, without letting the beliefs and opinions of others, get in the way. LOA can be a touchy subject for many reasons. The two biggies being a gross misunderstanding of what it truly is (seeing it as a system of punishment and reward, making things happen by just thinking them,etc…), and it not vibing with the generally negative view of reality that has been instilled in most of us.

You read about this concept, it resonated with you. You may have already experienced some cool stuff that ‘proves’ there is something to it. But, it can take a bit to feel the truth of LOA at the deepest levels of your being, and you don’t want to delay that process any longer than necessary, by letting other people get into your head, and make you feel doubtful or discouraged.

Keep your work with LOA to yourself, or just talk about it with people you know will resonate, whether in person or online.

So, that’s that for today’s post kids. I hoped you enjoyed it, and got some helpful takeaways for your own LOA journey.

Please let me know what you think in the comments. What are you struggling with LOA-wise? What helpful tips can you give to struggling manifestors? What are you trying to manifest and how is it going? Let’s have a chat.

Again, I resonate with everything written here. I wouldn’t know how to begin in sharing my experiences on LOA that’s worked unwittingly all throughout my life without even knowing it. Only after I, again, inadvertently – ran into a book in Barnes & Noble, New York – did I start to focus into this phenomena. (I won’t mention the book as it might be construed as advertising here – so, not because I do not want to share it with you here). As I’ve written on your previous post that my husband passed away 6 months ago. He was the epitome of everything negative, although, I won’t blame him as a person per se since he was a good, solid, honest and sweetest man I have ever come to know. However, it was his culture and upbringing that had hampered all what could have been enlightenments in his life that prevented him from accepting or even acknowledging them out of pride and ego, sad to say. LOA was not something he could comprehend. Yet, many a time, I showed him to see that it too has worked in his life. Unfortunately, him being an Engineer, it is more a hocus-pocus thing to follow. He worked hard (although, it wasn’t necessary if he were to know how to do it effortlessly with maximum results), just to give us the comfort and luxury of life. I’m grateful with that and I conveyed to him countless times. His approaches to life was his downfall. Ironically, now that he is no longer among us, all what he tried to achieve – had come to me in the most effortless ways. I just wish he was here to enjoy the fruits of his labour. I have never been obsessed in wanting things. Strangely enough, all the things that have come to my life are all beyond my imaginations, expectations and dreams. Yet, they were only thoughts I had passingly and not by focussing on them. Also, I never forced a situation to be what I want… If it has to it has to. Yes, I do things towards what need to be done, but not from a place of fear and obsession nor condition. A lot to delve into this subject alone as I have abundant of proofs just in my personal life alone. Thanks for your great article as always.

Hi there Thanks for stopping by again and sharing more of your story with me. I always love to learn more about my readers and their experiences. Like you said, it is something that has always been at play, and not just a force that activates once we ‘discover’ it. Your experience with your husband is a common one I think…what we are exposed to over and over again can get very deeply ingrained, and since our beliefs impact our experience, the experiences only reinforce the belief, and people have plenty of ‘proof’ their view of the world is correct. Someone who is very oriented towards logical thinking, such as an engineer, would likely have a hard time buying into attraction.

I think another issue is a misunderstanding of what LOA is. The ‘thoughts create your reality’ thing is often misinterpreted, and people think some sort of ‘magic’ is being promoted.

I imagine someone with your view of life, and especially since you were able to manifest so successfully, must have had a very challenging time dealing with someone so close-minded. It sounds like you had a lot of compassion and acceptance for his way of being, so that is a good thing. It sounds like you have the LOA process nailed down cold…awesome! Like you said, you didn’t even think much about what you wanted–it really isn’t necessary which is pretty interesting!

Thank you. Yes, only when the thing materialised did they come to my realisation that yes, I did wish for that. So, more in that line of LOA in my experiences. Just to give you one example; long time ago, whilst living in Singapore and was at this office, suddenly from another room I heard this tenderly speaking Italian man on the phone talking to his little son. How I wished to have that kind of relation. Fast forward 2 years, I met my late husband who’s Italian and who spoke to me in that same tenderness that I so wished to have. There are so many examples that I really should write a book about each of them. Thanks again for encouraging us to share our stories here with you. You are living a rich life and I love that about you.

Kelli Cooper 09/23/2014 at 7:38 pm

That happens to me sometimes too..I’ll get something and forget I even wanted it! I love those moments because it does show you that the mere desire is enough and that detachment is truly the name of the game. That is an amazing story! Thank YOU for sharing your stories, I really appreciate it. I love learning more about my readers and in sharing their experiences, it can help other people reading the posts, and provide encouragement and tips. Keep em coming!

It so uplifts me to know that the same thing happened to you. Then you know exactly what I’m talking about. That fleeting desire you once had manifested and presented itself , you even forgot about wishing for it. I do see the common thread in the desire to materialise; it should come from the purity of your heart, neutral, surrender and let it go. Never envy nor feeling sorry for yourself. Just a non-judgemental take of it with a very healthy dose of faith. Thanks for your response.

Kelli Cooper 09/24/2014 at 2:23 pm

Hi Yes, that has definitely happened to me. It’s interesting because I have talked to people who just discovering LOA, would relay a story like that, and they would be so amazed at what made it happen. There was simply no resistance around the desire, no thinking about it,etc…and it was able to come with minimal ‘fuss.’ You make a great point about purity and neutrality–a feeling of envy is a feeling of lack, and that will muddy the waters. Thanks for your great insight!

Linda 09/22/2014 at 6:59 am

Dear Meta, I would really appreciate if you please could tell which book it was. I try to understand and live by LOA.

Dear Kelli, I love you blog and I read your posts again and again! Also, once again, thank you for answering my question about job search a few months ago. Kind regards, Linda from Sweden

Kelli Cooper 09/22/2014 at 2:29 pm

Hey Linda Thanks so much…that really means a lot to me! I was happy to do it. I hope your LOA work is going well!

Dear Linda, It was 1998, where I felt a strange pull to enter into this Barnes and Noble book store in Columbus Circle, NYC – where I went straight to this book which title couldn’t even be seen from a meter distance, yet, was somehow lead to it. I went close by and it was “Conversation With God” by Neale Donald Walsch – which book One only and not the series that I decided to buy. From then on my life transformed, even though LOA has been been working throughout my life without my even knowing/realising it. Yet, at that point of my life, unaware that my soul needed a guidance – given that I had just went through a life-shocking experience where my late husband then had a triple by pass during his job assignment in Bangkok, Thailand. We went there only for a holiday since he by the grace of God pulled through the hardest ordeal he and I have ever had to face with and even completed his job assignment there. Back to Milan, Italy, our home base, we left for NY. I included myself in this ordeal as he wasn’t an easy man to take care of… being an Italian from Italy; he’s set in certain ways, suffice it to say. Back to LOA – from all the books that I have read since, the most approach that I’m attuned to is the teaching of Abraham Hicks. Haven’t read his book but the glimpses and pieces I had seen so far, through videos etc., is the most closest to my experiences since ever. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Meta Milan, Italy.

Just proof reading my response above, apology for making quite a few errors in sentence structures. Don’t know how to edit it. Also, on how to put my picture here so as not to be seen that I want to hide lol. Thanks!

Selene 09/24/2014 at 3:14 am

Conversations With God is my favorite, most life-changing book also. My top 3 are that one, Loving What Is by Byron Katie and LOA by Esther & Jerry Hicks. My top two blogs are this one and Melody Fletcher’s Deliberate Receiving.

Kelli Cooper 09/24/2014 at 3:57 am

Hi Selene I am familiar with all three books, but have only read the Hicks works. I am familiar with Byron Katie’s work and find her to be a fascinating person. I think I will have to read that. Want to buy it on my Nook now! Wow…to hear I am one of your favorite blogs and to rank me up there with Melody really just made my day! I am a huge fan of her, and have learned so much from her blog. Thank you so much for your kind words, and I am so happy that what I write helps you. Feeling very humbled right now 🙂

Linda 09/24/2014 at 4:05 am

Dear Meta, Thank you so much! You are so kind and generous! I have “Conversation With God” by Neale Donald Walsch, and will start reading it immediately.

Dear all, I love this blog and LOVE you ALL who share your stories with us!

Thank you for sharing this and do you want to know what you said here that stood out the most to me? “It is crucial to know thinking about what you want frequently is not necessary—visualizing is not manifesting.”

Every LOA coach that I’ve encountered told me that if I’m not visualizing what I want and feeling as if I already have it then I’ll never manifest what I want. Bull crap is what I said because I manifest stuff all the time and you want to know how I do it? Because I KNOW that it’s mine. It’s that gut instinct that we women have that we know that we know. I’ve been doing it all my life and what I knew would show up did. It showed up on it’s own time table but I never doubted it one single bit.

I think it was earlier this year that I watched a video that Abraham had shared and he said the same thing. In order to be vibrationally aligned that you have to appreciate it, and expect it. If you do that then you’re there and that’s pretty much the same thing.

If upsets me because I’m not a visual person so for someone to tell me I’ll never manifest what I want because I can’t visualize it is just wrong. I’m a very positive and appreciative person anyway. I never take things for granted and I know that more is yet to come to me. It will happen on it’s own timetable but I don’t doubt it whatsoever.

So that I know for sure is work works for me and I appreciate you sharing this with us Kelli.

Hey Adrienne Thanks so much for sharing your experience because that can help boost people’s confidence in the feeling part and not so much about the thinking and visualizing. I think that is an aspect of LOA that can be troublesome because some of us aren’t as visual. I am like you in that way. Like I said in the post, it can be a great tool when it feels good and to guide us to blocks, but yeah, it is not necessary. That knowing that you experience, that is the root of creation. We are always after a feeling, and we can always find a way to experience the feeling we think whatever we want would give us, right now, regardless of what is happening. I have no doubt your ability to easily move into a space of appreciation is a major component of your success!

Hey Ry Oh yes, those attachments to outcomes can be quite the roadblock. It can be tough because we want things to change so when we see that proof it certainly can give us a nice boost, but we have to remember other stuff is happening as well we can’t see. It is just about maintaining that faith and working on being happy now with what you got.

I have been caught up by all of these manifesting mojo stoppers… The one that I have often found is a bunch of crock tho is that feeling that feeling bad is stopping you from manifesting. Nah… feeling bad is just feeling bad. Allow your bad feelings to come without trying to stop them (which is a self-defeating cycle) and they will shy away on their own and your manifestation can and will come just as quickly as if you never felt bad. I have found that it is the vendetta against the bad feelings that messes up the manifesting mojo, because you simply change focus. Not because you felt bad in the first place.

Hey Lauren Thanks for your insightful comment and your experience. I loved how you put that…’vendetta against bad feelings.’ It is so true. In my experience, manifestation happens based on predominant feelings and beliefs, and when ‘bad’ ones creep in from time to time, they are not going to totally take over. They are weaker than the ‘good’ we have cultivated. I know in theory it is possible to feel good all the time, and there are some very advanced people spiritually who probably have been able to do this. As for the rest of us, we’ll probably continue to have our bad days, doubts and what have you. When we don’t fight them as much, they lose their power. We don’t have to be so afraid of them ‘ruining’ everything.

I am excited to meet you too! I look forward to seeing how that part of your plan unfolds.

Gina 09/26/2014 at 9:54 am

I agree that trying to stop bad feelings is counterproductive, because as Abraham said, whatever you push against is what you focus on and therefore, get more of. However, I don’t agree with using that as a reason to allow those bad feelings to stick around until they, as Lauren put it, “shy away on their own.” What I try to do is recognize the bad feeling and say, “Hmm, what’s up with this? What resistant thought is behind this speed bump?” Bad feelings are indicators that you’ve got some work to do to clear that path to your perfect manifestation. Ignoring them until they dissipate is like, as Abraham so brilliantly put it, “putting a happy face sticker on your car’s gas gauge when it’s on empty.” And if you don’t pay proper attention to what those feelings are trying to communicate, you’re going to get them again and again, and that perfect manifestation is going to be needlessly delayed until you get those rocks out of the road.

Kelli Cooper 09/26/2014 at 1:06 pm

Hey Gina Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I do agree that we need to pay attention to feelings that come up because they are clues to where we still have blocks. As you said, they will continue to come up again and again, delaying what we are hoping to bring into our experience. I think once people become aware of the force of LOA, they can get a bit anxious about the whole thing and their feelings. The most important thing is to be accepting that they showed up, evaluated like you suggest, and then some work on shifting, even if just incrementally. I always want to remind people to have compassion with themselves in the process..it is easy to get mad at ourselves and think we are messing it all up. Great insights. I am so glad you took the time to comment and share your thoughts here. I think what you wrote is very helpful for anyone who is feeling a bit stuck on how to proceed with negative feelings.

Gina 09/26/2014 at 6:28 pm

Sometimes I talk to the feeling, as odd as that sounds. I ask it what it’s trying to tell me, then I switch and give it my voice and just start talking without consciously trying to form thoughts. I’m amazed at what comes out. I used to try writing or typing but physical action seems to keep me too focused in my logical left brain. I’ve just ordered a voice recorder so that I can focus even less on what I’m bringing up in the moment as the voice of the bad feeling. (Also, so I can capture those brilliant plot ideas and snappy dialogue that come up whenever pen and paper are nowhere to be found. But I digress.)

I hope some people struggling with those pesky negative emotions will find this suggestion helpful. Different things work for different people.

Kelli Cooper 09/26/2014 at 6:56 pm

Hey Gina I love that suggestion. Like you said, that intention of just letting it flow can give some great insight into what is happening in our head. If we try and think too much about what is happening, we can block some of the wisdom I think. The recorder sounds like a great idea. You never know when those flashes of inspiration will strike. I have always been a big fan of writing things down, but I think I’ll try the talking thing to see how that works. I have no doubt people will find that helpful. You are so right about different things working for different people. That is why I always stress to people all that matters is if a tool makes you feel good; there is no one thing that everyone must do. If something doesn’t feel right, do something else. So long as we can cultivate those feelings, we are golden. Thanks again for sharing your insights. I love hearing how people go about their manifesting in their own lives.

Thanks for another inspiring post Kelli. I really resonated with what you wrote about screwing up your energy by sharing your process with doubters. I had a terrible case of this recently. Knocked me off course for a couple of days. On the other hand supportive friends who have faith in you can really build you up. Then my creative powers go off like a rocket! Have a wonderful day over there in Thailand and spare a thought for us here in the north shivering in the European winter!Faith recently posted…Saturn in Sagittarius: time to grow up

Kelli Cooper 01/08/2015 at 7:25 am

Hi Faith Thanks so much for your comment and I am so glad you liked the post. It really is so important. I don’t think we realize how much other people affect our energy and beliefs, but once we start doing this work and our awareness expands, we start to see it. Shifting our mindset can be challenging enough at times, and we are very ‘fragile.’ We want to protect our vibration as best we can from nefarious outside influences!

I am actually back in the US visiting family..New Jersey, and we are in the middle of quite a cold spell, so I am shivering right along with you!

Could you explain the exact process you use when you want to attract something?

You just ask once or think about it once and focus on feeling good by getting on with everyday life and forget about it? You don’t visualize?

Also. Could you explain this?

‘Also, you might want to know that you can not think about what you want ever again besides that first time, and you would still get it. Crazy, but true.’

*Do you have an article on the exact process you use?*

I have problems trying to generate a feeling when visualising and have the attention span of a flea.

Thank Sunny.

Kelli Cooper 04/12/2015 at 10:45 pm

Hi Sunny Sorry for the delayed response. I don’t know if I have an article that lays out the exact process as you are asking it as I cover so many different topics on attraction. All that you have asked has been covered at some point. What I can do for you is put together a blog post that answers all these questions in one spot and I think that will be helpful for you. Stay tuned for it..probably on Wednesday!

What an extensive article! I really like the part about spending all of our energy unwisely with doubtful and fearful people who have hard time accepting the law of attraction as a truth in their lives. From my experience I found that the best thing to do when changing our paradigms and subconscious belief system is to stay away from these people, even if they are our close friends or relatives.

They will always try to pull us back because this is in their nature. I am not suggesting to abandon them…Not at all! But after working on ourselves and strongly imprinting some new beliefs, it will be harder for them to influence and try to change the way we think.

Hello Lukovski I am so glad you enjoyed the post and found it helpful. I totally agree with the need to pull back or at the very least, be careful about what topics we discuss with people. Like you said, while we are imprinting the new beliefs we want to keep out anything that makes it harder to do that. Starting this sort of work is what really makes us realize how much other people have influenced our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. As we gain some momentum, that budding vibration will become more stable. We will also be less likely to attract situations where that more negative talk is present. Thanks so much for your insights and I hope to see you around here more!

[…] So, today we have another post based on some reader questions that were left on a post about some things screwing up your manifesting mojo. […]

Jennifer 04/29/2015 at 12:05 am

Hi Kelli, I came across your blog for the first time tonight. Thank you! This blog post was the answer to a prayer/question/intention and was just the guidance I needed. I’m immediately subscribing to your blog based on this alone. Very much looking forward to reading more!

Kelli Cooper 04/29/2015 at 3:50 am

Hey Jennifer Thanks so much and I am so glad you found the post helpful. Isn’t it amazing how we can be led to exactly what we need if we simply ask? Crazy thing that Universe! Please don’t be a stranger and never hesitate to comment..I love interacting with my readers and answering their questions, hearing their insights and learning from them just as they learn from me.

sanam 05/19/2015 at 2:01 pm

Hi…I want to use law of attraction to get a good mark in my enterance exam…this exam is really really important in my country and if you want to enter a good university you have to get a really great mark in it…for some reasons I couldnt study that 11monthes past and I only have 1month left…so what do you exactly mean by doing just the things that make you feel good…you mean if studying makes me bad I shouldn study for my exam at all?! please answer……

Kelli Cooper 05/19/2015 at 7:52 pm

Hi Sanam You can certainly use law of attraction to improve your grades but with the deadline of one month, you will probably feel a lot of pressure and it may be hard to work on your energy and your belief system. The first thing you have to realize is the good grades are a means to an end…you want them because of what you believe they can bring you…entrance into a good school, which will then help you get a good job,etc. What you ultimately want can be achieved regardless of the grades you get. For example, you could end up starting your own business and being hugely successful and it won’t matter what your grades were. But, right now, the belief in the importance of grades is probably very strong and you can’t just stop believing that, and it’s fine. We can still work on shifting our energy while working in the current structure of our belief system. So, you could totally stop studying and go do things that feel good…but, if the thought of not studying makes you feel really badly, that wouldn’t be a good strategy. The best thing you can do right now is think of what you ultimately want to achieve, and it has to be something that makes you feel good and excited, like working a job that you really like and earning money to have a great apartment or travel. If the goal is something that feels badly–fear of not succeeding, disappointing parents,etc.. No matter what happens with the exam, you can still get what it is you want, it just might look differently than you think it does.You also want to work on visualizing yourself calmly and confidently taking the exam, and being happy when you get the results back because you did well.

This post gave me such relief, pleasure and reassurance to read! Thank you for providing these gems of brain food to fine tune this manifestation process 🙂 I can go on about the beautiful bounty of experiences I have through unconscious manifestation. So now that I’m learning the law, I feel like a new driver. The biggest take away for me as an overthinker is to marinate in the fun FEELINGS of what I want from time to time,then step away from the subject 🙂 THANK YOU!

Hello Thanks so much for your comment and I am so happy you enjoyed the post and found it helpful. The reinforcement is always helpful to assist us in shifting out focus more successfully and ‘buying in’ to the concept. That marinating is super-helpful indeed..changes our whole point of attraction.

Hey Kelli,your post is literally amazing!Thank you so much for providing these useful answers.I have a question,can you tell me the process of attracting whatever we desire.Is it like we have to focus on only one goal at one time,or ask for once,visualize it and feel good and totally forget about it???Thank you so much for your help.?

Hi Sasha Thanks so much for your comment and I am glad you enjoyed the post. Focusing on what we want in a way that feels good to us can be very helpful for activating the energy that makes us a match to this thing but know it is the energy that is creating, not the exact thoughts you are thinking about this thing. With that energy, you will attract a lot of stuff that matches it–maybe this exact thing, maybe something different and even better, for example. In theory, you can totally forget about it and still have this thing manifest but most of us have a hard time doing that. The best thing you can do is work on how you are feeling, and developing a sense of detachment around this thing, knowing you are ultimately looking to feel a certain way and this desire is just one representation of that.
